For me this week also marks a personal change as I leave my UK Director position and start up as the new International Strategy Director at Restless Development. To make this moment, I'm sharing the stories of 10 amazing young people in the UK who have driven change and whose stories need sharing.

Whether it's sharing his story at schools across the UK, rubbing shoulders with Take That on stage at fundraising gigs or convincing government ministers of the importance of education for children affected by conflict ahead of the World Humanitarian Summit - Oscar is an inspiration to us all. He's also just proudly become Deputy Head Boy at his school - go Oscar!

Since then she's been one of Restless' most energetic change-makers, lobbying No. 10 making the Global Goals famous and speaking up for the planet at last years COP21 climate talks in Paris. Back in the UK Tatch has helped young people with diverse backgrounds access the same opportunities she's had and volunteer with ICS.

As if that's not enough, we recently selected Takyiwa as the UK's Youth Delegate to the next United Nations General Assembly in September. I can't think of a better young women to be joining the DFID Ministers for the Global Summit.

Nazzy Amin

Nazzy from Halifax, West Yorkshire is a passionate campaigner for climate change, women's rights and young people. Nazzy gave our New Year Message in 2015. She's represented the UK Youth Climate Coalition's international team, been a delegate at DFID's Girls Education Forum and is an Accountability Advocate for Restless Development.

Cracked It supports young people to engage with employment by demonstrating that the alluring elements of offending - income, belonging and self-worth - can be found through legitimate work. He now advises the government on the employment of ex-offenders.

Now George is continuing his journey to help other young people living with HIV. He has set up a blog called Still Human, which aims to give all the reassuring facts about HIV a young person needs to know.

Minhaz Abedin

Who said being young means you can't be experienced? Minhaz lobbied his first MP aged just 10 years old and now at 18 he can count years of engaging young people in the big issues locally and regionally.

Animal welfare champion Lucy, 14 years old and from Sheffield, hit the headlines earlier this year after she persuaded supermarket giants Tesco to stop selling eggs from caged hens.

As reported by HuffPost UK, after writing several letters to stores proved unsuccessful she decided to start a change.org petition. She managed to get over 280,000 people to support the cause and after this victory, is now setting her sights on the UK's over major stores.
